    I did a search, albeit not as thorough as I could but what's in front of me is a 2003 360 that's over heating and the heat isn't working. Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

    Excuse the post. Overheating is clearly one word and there is plenty of information here.

    Is there coolant in the reservoir?

    Yes sir. [​IMG]

    Next troubleshoot seems to be to bleed the system. Reading on how to remove the access panel now. Hoping to get to it today just not sure how likely.

    that's a little bit too much water in there
    replaced belts? flushed coolant recently?
    bleeding is a pain, last time I did 10 cycles of "up to temperature--->bleed--->let it cool"

    Oye. Thank you. The belts were done last year. It's a pain just getting to the point to be able to bleed. This is a spider too and either I'm missing something or the removal of the panel is very different than the coupe. The fan is going on so ruled that out..... As soon as I can figure out how to not break anything I'll get the panel off.

    Did you take a 10mm socket and extension set and open the bleed screw on top of the engine?

    I presume/assume that is what you're trying to take the access panel off for?

    Attempting this now. I hopped up on the fender and had my hands back there. The only thing I'm feeling is at the front of the right bank but I'm not feeling a 10mm bolt?

    You don't have to completely remove it, it has a notch machined in it so you just unscrew it enough to let the air out. You'll see the fluid bubbling out when you bleed it.
